You may have first his voice on a burned mix CD someone gave you in mid-2002; his hushed voice whispering the lyrics to “Such Great Heights.” But Sam Beam of the indie-folk outfit Iron and Wine has been cranking out records for the better part of a decade. What’s left to say about the group that hasn’t already been said in the blogosphere?

It seems like it was just yesterday when J Roddy Walston and the Business were getting started. These days, one of our favorite rock bands is big timing it, opening for the likes of The Hold Steady and Weezer while holding things down for a great record label.
Yep, our …

If you happened to catch Buffalo Killers during Memorial Day weekend on the Metromix Stage during Taste Of Cincinnati, you know they played one of the best sets of the weekend. The Cincinnati trio was as polished as ever during their set, which included a bunch of new material. I spoke with the guys afterwards and they seemed really excited about the new album coming out this summer.

The first time I heard UME, I became a fan. The first time I saw UME perform live, I became a big fan. The Austin based band has been at the front of the pack in my mind for a few years now, so it’s exciting to welcome them back to the Cincinnati area tonight for a show at the Mad Hatter in Covington.

Have you ever heard a band, really fallen for them, but then waited to see them live until they were either charging too much for tickets or were playing a really massive venue? Yeah, I know I did that with Arcade Fire, who I missed when they played at Southgate House years ago (probably still my biggest concert regret).

It’s Memorial Day weekend here in Cincinnati, and for most of us, that means time off from work, the first ‘real’ weekend of summer and of course, Taste Of Cincinnati. I’ve been to the Taste for years and always enjoy myself with the different food selections. But this …
